Whilst made-up sets are not uncommon it is pleasing to see an original set in this crisp state. The bibliography of the several Hawkesworth editions is complex. Teerink pp.80-83 distinguishes no fewer than seven separate stages of publication which he summarises in an invaluable table p.104.The 'fifth edition' present here is the Large Crown Paper issue of the Small Octavo edition.The original owner was probably the politician Lord John Townshend 1757-1833. He was the son of George 1st Marquess Townshend and Lady Charlotte Compton and father of Rear-Admiral Townshend who succeeded to the family title as 4th Marquess.CBEL II p.583; Jackson p.184; Teerink 90.

Johann Jacob Breitinger 1701-1776 Influential Swiss-German literary critic whose writings along with those of Johann Jacob Bodmer helped to inspire a transition from Baroque to Modern German Literature. In 1740 Breitinger published his "critische Dichtkunst" 2 vols a direct challenge to the classical viewpoint of leading Leipzig critic Johann Christoph Gottsched. Breitinger argued contrary to Gottsched that the poets passion should not be hindered by artificial rules i.e. rhym. The feud which ensued with Breitinger and Bodmer on the one side and Gottsched on the other helped to make way for writers such as Schlegel and Lessing. Breitinger followed up his 1740 work with further writings. In 1744 he anonymously published his "Verteidigung der schweizerischen Muse" a defense of Albrecht von Hallers nature poetry.
